hey fea and all!
just wondering if you guys managed to bargain for any complimentary parking?
just wondering if you guys managed to bargain for any complimentary parking?
hi jen...
was unsuccessful...because the carpark is owned by changi airport, not CP, therefore they're unable to give complimentary parking coupons.....
i tink they're only able to give 2-3 parking lots for our bridal cars and maybe the cars for parents' bah.......
hopefully, they can work something out...since more and more ppl are getting notice of CP...everyone will ask them for it .......
*cross fingers*

was told by CP they can provide 2 reserve tables for 22 guaranteed tables. But other hotels i'd enquire will give the 2 reserve tables for anything above 20 guarantee tables.
No complimentary parking and still ask for so much. Basically they want u to hit their max capacity of 25 lor.

I manage to get 10% Parking. They say pending neg. success with CAAS or the future owner. If not successful they'll refund me through cash card system or something like that.
My date is 19 Sept 2009.
Am going to take the 1108 package I think, I feel that the 948 package menu not very good.

noknok: no offence but i think you've already put yr coordinator as well as the other coordinators like jesmi in a difficult position since everyone here will be demanding for the same thing now...
Oh well.. that's true.. but dun wanna you all to lugi here mah.. Maybe the package you take matters. I'm taking the most expensive one. $1108/table. Maybe tat's why they still hv the leeway to give me parking allowanaces.
And I also ask them to take away the wedding favors. Am going to buy outside on my own.
And I also ask them to take away the wedding favors. Am going to buy outside on my own.
if CP is going to give the complimentary parking according to how expensive the package is..then i guess they may have to sacrifice many of their potential clients... becos all other hotels are offering complimentary parking no matter what type of package the couple purchase.
nevertheless, noknok, thanks for sharing.. at least we all know that there is a tiny winny possibility of having the parking coupon complimentary..... and we're able to bring this issue up again to our coordinators when the time is ripe....hahah

Nokok is right, we should share information here. ....hotel should not give different perks to different couples, no matter is the expensive package or cheapest package all should be standardised. This is y we have this tread here to talk abt CP...Thanks for sharing noknok. I will also talk to my coordinator when it is near to my ROM date but will not quote names as to which CP coordinator is offering this carpark complimentary. If anyone who manage to get carpark complimentary, pls help to update us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
HI ALL ^.^
wow.. been some time since i last login and quite a number of new members in here.. WELCOME =)
hmm.. seeing alot of discussion flying ard with some having issues mainly of the carpark.
Well, my point of view for the complimentary parking is not that CP has a choice not to give it to the customers.
Believe they are also in difficult position as they do not own any carpark there.
If we really like the ballroom so much n want so much to hold our dream wedding there, think this carparking issue should not hinder us as we can find a way to compensate our guest if we don't feel good.
Like what gLadZ will be doing.. giving NTUC vouchers in return for those who drive, which i think it's a really good idea.

i'm also like gladz, the wedding preparation came to a "pause" after settling on CP...... my BS is golden horse award Marina SQ and my AD PG is Damian Tan Photography.....we do not intend to have any videographer....probably just ask our fren to video those funny shots like the gate crashing moments.......
as my wedding will be held over 2 days.... i tink we will go somewhere for a photoshoot after the tea ceremony with our brother&sister gang.....
the following day, just before the dinner commence, we will take some shot ard CP or even somewhere inside the airport if the time permits.... my secret wish is to take at the runway!!! hahah...but i know that's IMPOSSIBLE !!
now its the time to get tone up and wait for the gown trying after CNY...... i tink my PS will be in May next yr bah....

My HTB and I are thinking of taking a night stay at the hotel but we are considering which kind of facing is the best ( facing budget terminal or facing the poolside or facing the runway? Can share with me which one do u all prefer? Thanks.

Hi, been a long time since im here...
zel..
I was in Shanghai, Wuxi & Suzhou...the weather's was nice..cool but not that cold...maybe by the time you go there, the temp will dip to colder temp...
Jen,
Wow....we have so much in common!! so how's your 1st PS with laBelle?? share your pic leh...
Which gown did u go for? I went to the thread to read only, didn't post anything yet cos I'll only go select my gown after CNY... read that the gown sizing like kinda small right? now v stress..trying to lose as much wt as possible.. hehe.. anyone got any tips??
Princess..
For the room, I actually selected the one facing the runway cos i think that's more special...but the only con is that maybe we can a bit of noise when the planes land and take off... the room is sound proof but think u can still hear a a bit...

Thanks Jen and gLadZ for the advice..
Ya I am also very keen to know when is the next wedding or Solmnisation that will be held in CP. I am also very interested to go down to take a look at the actual thing... But accordingly to the CP manager , i did proopse to go down to have a look at other pple solmnisationat the poolside but she told me cannot because is a restricted area for the wedding guests only..... Just like to check will all ur HTB driving? Since CP doesnt provide any complimentary parking, on the wedding dat itself all ur cars will be parking at T3 carpark? We are also take consideration into if we stay a night in CP accordingly to the CP manager , it will cost abt SGD18/per day to park our car for 24hrs. So we are considering if to stay a night there or to choose another hotel in town instead.....Any opinion?

Hi everyone,
10% complimentary packing? Really confirm? So happy to hear that.... but mine is ROM at CP. Not sure whether I can get complimentary parking for my guests or not. I did not receive any email from my CP manager abt this news.

Hi all,
I signed up with Crowne during their wedding show 2wks ago too, but unlike Venus, i only get 10% complimentary parking & it includes the bridal car parking, =(
worst thing is, when we signed, we asked them twice abt any additional costs of vegetarian guests amongst a table of normal guests, they said NO. we even asked them to confirm with their mgmt again. n since they came back with NO ADD COST. we signed on the spot & told them to write it down in black & white on contract.
Now, another coordinator called & said they made a mistake & we have to pay extra for veg. guests!! their mistake became my problem?!?!
We are expecting at least 10 guests amongst the tables, so its not cheap at al!! $900 over more!!
Wat should I do?

ya at 1st i tot o voiding the contract too if they insist, but my HTB said, Crowne has nothin to lose if we void it, bcox there wil b others who r willin to take up the place eventually...
in fact, we wil b at the losing end bcox we wil have to search n bargain for a place again, n most wedding showcases r over alr.. plus my AD in Oct09, most good hotels r taken by now i guess...
since its written black & white, they cant do anythin rite? if not can i lodge a complaint with CASE?

hey krissy, guess you should argue with them through, it is stated in black and white and you've signed and paid the deposit, they should honour the contract, if not it defeats the purpose of having a contract right?
hello!
gosh..Crowne was one of my top choices till I read bout Krissy's experience....nonetheless, Crowne's gonna be part of the BOWs exhibition next week, am gonna check it out.
Anyone completed their banquet with CP on a weekday yet?
Any advice to note will be greatly appreciated!

Gladyz > Thanks for the update...
Wow, at least they are doing something about the parking.
Wasted my FW and I were so busy that we missed the bridal show under CP.
Btw, anyone going for the BOWS 2009, CP is one of the participating hotels?
In terms of the decor, do they have their in house florist or we need to engage our own?
If they have in house florist, can we still use our own florist or we must stick only to their florist?
Anyone has their decor pics?
Can help share some experience once you gals visited it?
